Sounds like fun. I sent you an email to save us a few spaces.
Diving tomorrow (Thu). Tuesday's conditions were good including parking.

Hi Everyone, I will be visiting the inlaws again over the holidays, which means time to dive the bridge again. I'm looking for a dive buddy the weekend before Christmas. Thanks, I can't wait,
Tim

Great day today. Vis 20+ in most areas in the beginning. Temps 77-79
5 separate seahorses in 5 different areas. Don't ask where, too many morons collecting. Lots of southern stingray, no spotted eagle rays like last time. Jawfish galore but none with eggs in their mouths. Lobster and the usual reef fish including 1 hogfish. No pics. Did not take camera but my dive buddy did.
101 minutes in a 3.5mm full, no hood or gloves. Very comfortable temps. As usual, not a ton of divers during the week.
Hope this helps.

Today's vis was about 10ft w/temps down to 76 deg.
Found a juvenile Lionfish near the boat dock south of the bridge.

Yeah vis was not the best today no meter where we went. Had 3 ow students today so the vis was not great around us anyway during skills time anyway. My temp readings were about 79 in most areas.

[FONT=&]Since I haven't been able to dive the bridge since August, I've finally gotten back to my "project" of trying to add tags and titles of fish and critter ID's to my underwater pics on Flickr. I thought I was making good progress with my Humann and DeLoach books and Google Image search for reference. But, had to replace my dying cellular phone and ended up with my first, fancy smart phone. Well, an iPhone 4 (not even 4S).[/FONT]
[FONT=&]Anyway, I was then able to download that Smithsonian fish ID app that I heard about on here, as well as Rob Myers's Reef Fish Florida and Caribbean app (only five bucks). [/FONT]
[FONT=&]With all the pics I’ve posted there, I’ve now started to hear from various marine biologists, including said Rob Myers, Benjamin Victor, and Ross Robertson – one of the authors of the aforementioned Smithsonian app. They’ve all turned out to be most helpful with the ID’s.[/FONT]
[FONT=&]Unfortunately, their help has also made it apparent that I’ve made a lot of *mis*-identifications. [/FONT][FONT=&] For example, that Dotteral Filefish above was labeled as a Scrawled Filefish. Heck, I’d never even *heard* of a Dotteral.[/FONT]
[FONT=&]Hope to get around to correcting some others that I’ve run across at the bridge. Might be some others that I hadn’t known existed, too. . .[/FONT]
